One thing I've come across owning and working on a handful of vintage bikes, cars, motorcycles is that it's usually good practice to keep all the factory fasteners and reuse them (unless they're fubar, of course)...
What I want to hear, is how you guys go about preventing said nuts and bolts from rusting after hitting them with the wire wheel, dipping them in your concoction of choice, etc.
I've used paint mostly in the past, but it always cracks when you put a wrench on it. Is there a secret coating out there? Do ya just replace them with new coated bolts and toss the old ones in the trash?
